Georgia

Yes, after almost a year, we are out of the Carolina's.  We are in Savannah Georgia.  We had 3 beautiful anchorages and a one night stop at Hilton Head before arriving on Saturday.  Some very nice sailing on  the ICW along the way.  Ever sail at 9 knots with only 6.5' of water under the boat?  More white knuckle sailing for the ICW rookies.  Sunday we rented a car and toured Tybee Island and the downtown waterfront of Savannah.

We actually rented a Toyota Prius.  When they offered a hybrid, I had to try it.  All day of driving around and 1.6 gallons of gas.  Figured I would test out the hybrid idea for Yumsuch.  We warned the guy that he may get a car back with no batteries.    

Just got back from a nice visit and dinner with Pat and Walt.  Plan to spend some time with them in Marathon this winter.  They are not rookies.  

      First night's anchorage after leaving Charleston.

        We toured Tybee Island Lighthouse and the fort.
